Chapter 756: Five Tiger Major Generals
Is there any relationship between Lu Bu and Empress Lu, Liu Zheng doesn't really want to know, in short, Lu Bu is quite satisfied with the position of general.
After all, after Lu Bu in history helped Wang Yun destroy Dong Zhuo, he was only canonized as a ragtag general of General Fenwu.
The canonization of official positions only represents their authority, and does not explain their status in Liu Zhengjun.
If you can explain your status, you still have to look at the title.
The title is the representative of eminence.
Liu Zheng pondered for a while, and finally selected five people from his army.
They are Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Sun Jian, and Gan Ning, who are called the Five Tiger Major Generals.
Grant them the title of Major General.
The rest of the battalion commanders were all awarded the title of colonel.
The deputy battalion commander is the rank of major.
A military general of the first rank of Qu Chang, he was canonized as a captain.
The deputy commander is a second lieutenant.
The rank of commander is the sergeant.
A person with the rank of captain begins to have a knighthood and is promoted from corporal.
And soldiers are divided into three classes, and with merit of the first, second, and third ranks, they can be promoted to knighthood.
Liu Zheng synthesized the merits of these generals under his command over the years, and rewarded them for their meritorious deeds.
And the way of promotion was also clearly written, and they were told that those generals and soldiers were very satisfied.
The generals were satisfied that they were able to indicate their status through their titles.
The non-commissioned officers are satisfied that they can clearly see the hope of promotion, as long as they fight bravely on the battlefield, they will also be able to be promoted to colonels and major generals one day.
And the reason why Liu Zheng is the highest five generals is just canonized the title of major general, it is because the world is not peaceful now, if he is directly rewarded to the general now, and he will make meritorious contributions in the future, there will be no other reward.
Therefore, it is necessary to reserve the title of canonization in the future.
Although many people, because of the need to guard the major states and counties, they were not able to participate in this enthronement ceremony.
But this did not prevent Liu Zheng from spreading the news of their canonization to all corners.
Liu Zheng's Jinyi Guard now has a lot of personnel, and intelligence and communication are already very strong, especially in these places controlled by Liu Zheng himself.
Liu Zheng directly sent people to spread the news everywhere, and suddenly, under Liu Zheng's command, morale was high and unprecedentedly enthusiastic.
Of course, some people are happy, and naturally some people are unhappy.
On Liu Zheng's side, everyone was excited and elated, but at the same time, Luoyang was furious.
After a few days, the news of Liu Zheng's claim to be emperor finally spread to Luoyang.
In fact, a few days earlier, the people here in Luoyang already knew.
Because before Liu Zheng became emperor, the news that Liu Zheng was about to become emperor had already spread near Wu County, and those fine works hidden in Wu County passed the news back to Luoyang, almost exactly the few days when Liu Zheng became emperor.
He Miao took the news from his subordinates, and in the palace hall in Luoyang, he trembled with anger.
He shook his hand and threw the bamboo slip in his hand, which was thrown on the ground and shattered.
"How can this be true? Outrageous! These thieves really dare to be emperors! ”
What He Miao is most afraid of is that Liu Zheng is the emperor, because the appearance of a Yuan Shao has damaged the majesty of their royal family, and the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty are unstable, and many people have begun to discuss in private, saying that the orthodoxy of Liu Wei's throne is unorthodox.
It stands to reason that Liu Wei's throne is actually very orthodox.
After all, Liu Wei is the eldest son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and it is understandable that he will inherit the throne.
But when Liu Wei was young, he was kidnapped by Liu Zheng, and he was escorted to Jizhou by Xu Yu and them to become a puppet emperor.
In this way, when Emperor Han Ling died, Liu Wei was not able to directly inherit the throne of Emperor Han Ling.
On the contrary, it was the child Liu Xie, who inherited the throne at the instigation of the minister.
But later Liu Wei came back, and He Jin, the uncle, resolutely followed the example of Huo Guang, the general of the year, abolished Liu Xie's throne and renamed Liu Wei as the emperor.
Originally, this matter was not in line with etiquette and the patriarchal system.
Even if Liu Xie's throne is not appropriate, Liu Xie can be regarded as an emperor for a while, and the next person to inherit the throne will not be Liu Xie's turn, but Liu Xie's next generation.
It's a pity that Liu Xie doesn't have the next generation, so he can only find the closest person, which is naturally Liu Wei.
Even so, there is nothing wrong with it, but it will still be chewed on the root of the tongue.
Fifteen-year-old Liu Wei already understands some things.
He sat on the dragon chair, looking a little flustered, although Liu Wei was only fifteen years old, but his experience in the past ten years was extraordinary.
Before the age of 10, Liu Wei stayed in the palace all the time and did not experience too many setbacks.
But after the age of 10, Liu Zheng's divine soldier suddenly entered the palace, not only killed Emperor Han Ling, but also robbed the young Liu Wei out of the palace, so that the young Liu Wei ran around, and it was also the ten-year-old Liu Wei who became the emperor, although he was only a puppet emperor, but it also made him understand the difficulties of the world.
Later, although he was released back, returned to Luoyang, and then became the emperor, he has been a puppet in the hands of others all these years.
At first, he was Wang Fen's puppet, and later he became He Jin's puppet, and now he is still just a puppet emperor in He Miao's hands.
Although Liu Wei was already fifteen years old and could govern by himself, He Miao, who was in charge of the government, never thought of returning the power to him.
Even He Miao married his niece to Liu Bian, and asked Liu Bian to accept him as a concubine, just waiting for Liu Bian to give birth to a son.
If Liu Wei had a son, then Liu Wei would even die faster, just find a way to kill Liu Wei, and he could set up a new emperor, and He Miao could still control the court for decades.
Therefore, Liu Wei did not dare to resist He Miao at all, in front of He Miao was just a submissive emperor, and he did not dare to express any of his opinions.
Even when the general He Miao asked him something, he just kept it secret and didn't dare to speak out.
"Your Majesty, those rebels actually openly disobeyed the imperial court and declared themselves emperors, how can this be true, the minister thinks that the army should be deployed to completely eliminate Liu Zheng and these rebels, what does Your Majesty think?"
He Miao's words made Liu Wei, who was sitting on the dragon chair, immediately feel a little overwhelmed.
He Miao, who usually doesn't watch the concert, of course doesn't know how difficult the national strength of the Han is at this time.
Years of conquest led to the emptiness of the country's strength, coupled with the poor harvest in the last two years, and the plague was rampant, and the appearance of the plague brought floods and droughts in the second year.
Naturally, the harvest will not be good, and there will be famine in various places, and the people will complain.
